The new owner has already presented its plans to the management and workers as it announced that it will focus on restructuring improvements in production and sales, and the development of the Alpina brand. The buyer has been picked not just because it submitted the best financial offer but also because of a thorough development strategy, BAMC said on Tuesday. STA, - The Bank Assets Management Company (BAMC) announced it had sold its outright stake in footwear maker Alpina to K&H, a Czech company that is part of the Franco de Poisd'eau & CIE group, for an as yet undisclosed amount. For the time being, their membership is opposed by Turkey, which alleges that Sweden and Finland support terrorist groups. In order to join the alliance, new members must get consent from all 30 member states of the alliance. The hitherto neutral countries decided to join NATO in the face of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The ambassadors of Sweden and Finland to NATO presented NATO membership applications to Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg in Brussels on Wednesday. "As far as membership of Finland and Sweden is concerned if the issue comes up at the government, we will vote against and in parliament we will abstain in line with the protocol on the functioning of the government," said Mesec. Speaking at the same press conference as Fajon and Robert Golob, the prospective prime minister, Luka Mesec, the leader of the Left, reiterated his party's opposition to NATO enlargement and advocacy of Slovenia's quitting the alliance, but indicated the party will not block the enlargement in parliament. "Of course also as an effort to end the war in Ukraine as soon as possible, peacefully obviously, which is what we all strive for," she said. She understands the move as a contribution to Europe's collective security. The two countries' decision to ask to be admitted to NATO was also hailed by Tanja Fajon, the leader of the Social Democrats (SD), who is tipped to become Slovenia's next foreign minister. Finland's and Sweden's membership of NATO will enhance our shared European and north-Atlantic security," Pahor wrote on Twitter. "I would like to congratulate the friendly nations of Finland and Sweden on their demanding decision to ask for membership of NATO after a long period of neutrality. Slovenia's support for the two countries' bid to join the alliance was also expressed today by President Pahor.

It added that "Slovenia has always been a supporter of NATO's open-door policy and advocates the sovereign right of every country to an independent foreign policy, including integration into defence alliances." Issuing the statement as Sweden and Finland today submitted official applications to join NATO, the ministry said that "NATO's door must remain open to European countries that want to join and meet the criteria for membership."
